by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

Die Glocke des Glücks
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Viele Glocken hör' ich läuten,
Nun es Abend werden will --
Eine nur will nimmer klingen, 
Eine nur ist ewig still.

Tiefe Glocke meines Glückes: 
Einmal noch zur Abendzeit
Singe [über]1 meinem Hügel
[Jenes]2 Lied voll Seligkeit.3

Dem ich meine junge Stirne 
Lauschend einst empor gewandt,
Da ich noch auf hellen Wegen 
Schritt an meines Liebsten Hand.
